When you become mom it never stops. My mom lives with me and when I see her sitting on the couch watching a good movie I will go lay my head across her lap so she can tickle my back. I go to sleep everytime. and I am 67 now.
They have dressed like a trustee from jail.
More parents should treasure that time with their children. Sit down and read them a book.
Well, of course there’s a whole sofa but that’s not as good as your lap for reading a story. ❤️
enjoy these moments fit they are short
This is what toddlers do. They want ALL OF YOU!
I would give anything to have my grown son a baby just one more time to sit in my lap for a bedtime story. I Tell my son now with my grandson to hold every second he can because it’s gone in a blink of an eye.
Lucky mom
He wants momma to hold him! Needs closeness! Everyone needs closeness! 🥰
Don't blink, and enjoy every moment. Time flies and they're grown before you know it.
So cute 🌸💕
